The joke I heard from my grand-dad [who flew sorties for SOE in stripped down Wellington bombers during WW2] was that landing is never a problem. They've never left a plane stuck up there.

An acceptable landing is when you come down near where you meant to.
A good landing is when you can walk, not run, away afterwards.
A great landing is when you can fly the plane again.
A really great landing is when the ground crew don't need to repair it first.
